Fatty

Cherry you are late again your friend is waiting for you from past one hour. Yes mama I know, I am ironing my uniform again the middle button is come out I will have to pin it. Fatty how many pins are you going to put on that uniform, come fast we are getting late screams Rita. Rita why do you come so early? Cherry I am on time, you only are one lazy piggy, and today also PT teacher will make us take rounds of the play ground for coming late to school. Running and stumbling Cherry reaches 5 minutes late in front of the PT teacher. She prayed to god entire way to get a rickshaw but tough luck. She then made a pact with god that if she will not get punishment then she will not watch Small Wonder today. PT teacher, “Cherry and Rita why are you so late?” Madam my milk man came late today so my mother took time in preparing the breakfast. All the students standing behind Cherry started giggling. PT teacher said “Today I shall let you go as breakfast is the most important meal of the day, don’t be late next time”.  This was a very cute and chubby primary school going little Cherry.   Few years later let’s meet the secondary school going Cherry, “I guess I am prepared enough for the fiesta dance only the turning part should be corrected”. June replies, “Fatty you better turn properly or else I will not give you any Samosa in the short break”.  Disappointed Cherry replied, “Hey guys I will surely try I am getting lot better at it yaar”.  Samantha in her bossy tone, “You know what if you all do not pull this off I will not share any of my assignments with you losers.”  Miss. Perry “All girls for the fiesta dance stand in formation curtains are going up”.  The fiesta music begins and in the middle Cherry forgets a step or two Samantha is breathing fire and June gives Cherry encouraging smile. Cherry is all nervous and when the turning part comes she trips and falls off the stage. There is a huge gasp from the audience.  Fully embarrassed and red in her face Cherry gets up. Miss. Perry feels sorry and gives Cherry a helping hand. She nudges Cherry to go on stage for the final bow.  Cherry with pink cheeks goes on stage for the final bow, everyone in the audience pointing finger and laughing at her miserably she also laughs with all of them not at all feeling embarrassed or shameful any more.  Cherry always embraced her flaws and weakness with great pride.  Though she was the only child she always adjusted with everyone. She was truly loved by everyone who knew her. She was never alone for anything.

                Let’s meet the teenage Cherry.  What is the point of waking up 5 in the morning Cherry?  You don’t understand Jess this Harry Potter book is so cool. I want to be the first person to buy this book in that Carnival. Carnival is going to be there till 9 in the night Cherry and I see no point in being the first Harry Potter Book customer, unless they are giving you any discount for it.  Cherry could not understand why Jess was not able to get it still she explains, “The first customer will get Harry Potter tattoo and a picture in the Times of India”. Books were something she truly cherished. Let’s have a glance into Cherry’s first love struck moment.  Thinking in her mind, “He is so handsome and his dimples make him look so cute. With his magical company under this moonlight this shitty road towards the Mahim station looks so beautiful.”  This is how Cherry thought, small things also could bring her great joy.  Let’s take a peek at the Engineering Cherry. “I still cannot understand how I managed to fail in all papers and only clear one of the toughest papers Mechanics; it’s a funny miracle Andy”.  So are you sad or happy? - Andy.  Felling hurt Cherry replies, “I guess I suck at engineering should search an alternative career”. Well turns out she managed to do engineering and get an average job. Let’s visit Cherry’s hog party night. “I am really hungry Justin I hope the Maharaja Burger comes fast.” Justin –“Patience my darling ball”. Cherry thinking deeply lost in food thoughts, “I really hope its Cheesy today”.  This was Cherry a girl whose universe revolves around food, movies, books, masti and pure magic.
